Help get books to children in need in our community!

So many of the children in your own community lack access to the books they need to help them be successful in school and beyond. First Book- Multicultural Children’s Book Day  is planning to change this situation.   From now until February 1, 2015 we are hosting a Virtual Book Drive to raise $5,000 to buy brand new books for the kids in all communities. To make it a success, we need your help. Here’s what you can do:

  • Donate online at First Book/MCCBD’s Virtual Book Drive Page. Every $2.50 will help provide one book for a child in need.
  • Spread the word. Tell your friends to donate. Tweet about it. Facebook it. And remember, every dollar we raise gets us one step closer to ensuring children in need can open the pages of brand new books and the doors to a brighter future.

Join us in changing the future of today’s children through brand new multicultural books!
